Subject: vogue words:early references



Early edns of Pyles and later Pyles and Algeo used the term, and John Algeo

has written about vogue words for a good while. An early reference is to an

article by Pyles in ALL THESE TO TEACH, a U.Fla festschrift for C A Robertson

in the mid-60s, and you might also look at John's early-70s On defining the

proper name. Don't have Fowler's BritUsage handy, but I think the term was

used there (in the 1930s edn)
